Lufthansa Highlights Vienna

What’s hot on Lindengasse

Tucked away between the Museum Quarter and Mariahilfer Straße lies Vienna’s 7th district. This vibrant neighborhood is the place to go in search of art, enjoyment, music or the city’s fashionable subculture. At its heart, Lindengasse and the small, creative studios and showrooms there have become a hot tip for young, innovative design. An appealing mix of avant-garde and tradition, suburban charm and urban chic has visitors and locals alike flocking to this narrow street every year.

On the trail of unusual creations

Mandarina Brausewetter creations are one thing above all else: unusual. The designer has a predilection for sophisticated styles with some nice finishing touches. T-shirts with street art motifs are as much a feature of her collection as delicate blazers in sweatshirt fabric with puff sleeves. Alongside her own designs, Ms. Brausewetter also stocks becoming styles by upcoming fashionistas and hot labels.

With Buntwäsche, her own label Melanie de Goederen demonstrates how simple cotton fabrics can be transformed into unique designer creations. Her customers come to the shop to choose from a range of different styles, colors and prints and put together their own personal favorite shirt.

Sandra Gilles enchants her customers with hand-made nightwear creations: Subtle details on delicate lingerie made of silk, lace and cotton are her signature. Stylish daywear and colorful bags – affectionately known as “Sackerl” in Vienna – also belong to her collection.

Vienna – centre for young design

Purist, elegant and above all wearable are the words that best describe Stefanie Wippel’s creations. The designer makes all her collections herself, starting with cutting the fabric to finishing a garment with fancy stitching. She goes for comfortable, quality materials and styles that can be worn every day. She personally takes her customers’ measurements at her studio and tailors her exquisite designs to fit their figure like a glove.
